SUMMARY
The latest Gallup Poll indicates that public trust in media credibility has reached its lowest level in 30 years, with only 44% of Americans expressing confidence in the media's ability to report accurately and fairly. This decline follows the CBS News controversy regarding faulty reporting on President George W. Bush's Vietnam-era National Guard service, which was questioned prior to the network's formal apology. The poll, conducted from September 13-15, shows a significant drop from 54% confidence the previous year, highlighting a growing skepticism towards media outlets.
